Condenser
motors are found installed in air conditioning systems that move outdoor air
across the condensing coil in outdoor condenser/compressor unit. The air
movement across the condensing coil transfers heat to outdoor air and lets high
pressure or temperature refrigerant inside the condensing coil to condense from
a gas back to a liquid refrigerant.
What’s The Purpose of the Condenser
Fan Motor?
The
condenser fan motor on the compressor unit comes from the need of transferring heat
from the refrigerant system into outdoor air. The refrigerant gas is pumped from
the indoor cooling coil through the outdoor compressor motor. As the compressor
generates high pressure and temperature refrigerant gas, it needs to flow into
the outdoor condensing coil (acting just like a car radiator with finned tubing).
As the hot gas flows through the condensing coil, the outdoor condenser fan
motor blows outdoor air across the hot condensing coil to cool the gases inside
and turns it to liquid state while transferring the heat at the same time.
What’s the Difference Between a Condenser
Fan Motor & A Blower Motor?
The
blower motor is not an actual fan motor but is a centrifugal pump consisting of
a wheel with radial slats spinning inside a housing. Centrifugal force pulls
the air from the center out to the edge of the wheel which is why to intake is
a pipe to the center of the wheel while output is on the edge. Though the mechanism
is somewhat similar, the blower wheel is what create differentiation. Blower
motor moves the air around your house. It moves the air across the heat exchanger
and the evaporator coil. However, condenser fan motor lets the air flows through
the condensing coil to make the hot air blows out across the hot condensing
coil.
While
going for repair or replacement of the AC parts, you should have at least the
basic ideas about the components. You can also ask the motor parts distributor about
different AC parts and what’s their role. Getting more information about AC
components can let you choose them effectively. So, gather as much information
as you can about Emerson motor
distributor before you opt for the repair or replacement of the AC parts.
